SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT PSALMS:
*The book of Psalms is not divided into chapters. Instead, each
division is an individual psalm, or song. Therefore, it is more
correct to say, for example, "Psalm 119, verse 20,"
rather than "Psalms chapter 119, verse 20."
**Many of the psalms include additional title/author information
that is not numbered. Many of these "extra" verses
are just a few words explaining who wrote the song, or what style
of music the psalm should be sung in. However, there is also
a substantial number of these extra pieces that are quite lengthy,
sometimes explaining the inspiration for the psalm, or the circumstances
surrounding its composition. I feel that this information is
very important, and thus I have made the effort to note psalms
that include this information, which would otherwise not be reflected
in the verse count.
Each psalm that includes these "unnumbered verses"
are noted with a plus (+) symbol. It should also be noted that
the total number of psalms with unnumbered verses is actually
116. However, Psalm 119, which is an acrostic poem divided into
22 sections (1 for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet) actually
has 22 titles (one for each section). Thus, if we count each
title in Psalm 119 as a separate unnumbered verse, that changes
our total to 137 (116-1+22=137). Therefore, there are 116 psalms
with added verses, and there are a total of 137 added verses
among those psalms.
